[Dx4win] qsl managers

[Garry Shapiro]

The simplest way to deal with addresses --whether "built-in" or added--- 
that "spill over" the label boundaries is to execute a dummy print run. 
Choose Print but make the destination "Preview" instead of "Printer". 
That brings up the page(s) of labels to be printed. Note the labels that 
have a problem, bail out of the print label window, fix the labels for 
each noted QSO (see below), then repeat until perfect. Then print.

To fix the addresses, place the cursor in the QSL Mgr window --ensure 
that a callsign is in that window--and press Ctl-E to open the address 
window. If the  window opens blank, you need to type in or paste in a 
mailing address. If the station worked is self-managed, put that 
callsign in the QSL Mgr window. You can fix what is in the window or 
paste in an address from a lookup program like qrz.com. Some addresses 
may require shortening. The changes you make will be saved.

There is probably a simpler way, but that works for me.
